ICC “IMPEDANCE CONTROL COIL” TECHNOLOGY

The TTL55-A midrange transducer features a unique “Impedance Control Coil” technology. A secondary coil wound on the speaker yoke and driven in opposite phase to the primary coil has the function of cancelling the primary coil inductance, increasing the speaker sensitivity and reducing the speaker distortion. A primary effect of this technology is the improvement of the temporal behaviour of the speaker, improving the crossover transi-tion from the midrange to the compression drivers.

THE TTL55-A AMPLIFIER

The TTL55-A amplifi er represents a state of the art execution of a Dsp controlled multi-way digital amplifi cation. The analog input board offers xlr input and output link, cluster size control switches, high frequencies correction switches, pre-loaded equalizations by-pass switch. Ethercon input and output connect the system in daisy chain on a RDNet monitoring and controlling system from the FOH. The signal processor is a 32 bit fl oating point Dsp running at 96 kHz. The Dsp takes care of crossovers, equalisations, soft-limiters, rms limiters, large signals compression and customised presets for the 4 way amplifi cation. Four digital amplifi ers: 2 x 1000 watt low frequency, 1000 watt the midrange, 500 watt for the three high frequency drivers.

TTL55-A

TOURING LINE ARRAY

The TTL55-A cabinet is built in Baltic birch plywood and protected with heavy-duty coating. The internal structure is braced and reinforced and all the parts are assembled on metal inserts with metric screws. With a very small size compared to the spl output it is easily transportable as a single module on a dolly or in groups of four in dedicated karts. The front grille is powder coated a features and special foam backing very transparent to the sound.

MECHANICS

The TTL55-A cabinet features a newly designed die-cast side handle with rubber hand-grip. Tanks to the internal scoop design it is possible to use the handle in three different directions.

SIDE HANDLE

All the mechanical structure is built in high strength structural steel. This special steel by a quenching and tempering process guarantees a yielding strength almost 4 times higher compared to commercial grade steel and maintains the mechanical properties down to –40° C. Thanks to this material the mechanics have high safety factor with a weight under control.

FRONT MECHANICS

The TTL55-A cabinet features 8 possible splay angles, from 0° to 7° with 1° step increment to create curved spiral arrays with very high precision.

REAR MECANICHS AND ANGLES

The electronic processing and the amplifi er are housed in a solid aluminium extrusion. The housing is tightly fi tted to the rear of the cabinet and sealed. The power input and all the signal connectors are housed in two recessed and protected panels.

RCF SHAPE DESIGNER

In order to assist with the set up procedures for the TTL55-A Line Array System, RCF has developed a complete prediction software package. The software enables a complete two dimensional simulation of the behaviour of the TTL55-A cabinets arrays and also suggest the correct subwoofers combination. The system curvature angles and the sound projection data are computed with maximum sound pressure levels for the given design. The software will allow simulations up to a maximum of twenty TTL55-A systems.The rigging menu provides data for weight, centre of gravity and length of the array confi guration. Rigging points and rigging hardware confi gurations are also computed.

RDNET

The TTL55-A is equipped with a dedicated networking board. Using our proprietary RDNet protocol is possible to monitor all the system parameters, form the input to the status of each single amplifi er. Having a Dsp on board of each cabinet, it is possible to address to single cabinets or groups of cabinets specifi c presets or modifi cations of parameters like gain, equalisation or delay.The RDNet protocol is based on RS-485 communication protocol, it is very stable and it is possible to send and receive data on a simple XLR cable.
